Industry Qualifications

Level 2 Certificate in Package Distribution Services (QCF)

Introduction

The revised Skills for Logistics qualifications look different as they all combine
Capability (Knowledge) with Competency into a single qualification. They are all
mapped directly to the revised National Occupational Standards (NOS) on a one to
one basis so that employers, employees and learners can be confident that they
meet the skills requirements for our sector.

The qualifications are more flexible and will allow you to achieve the qualification in
bite-sized piece.

The Qualification

This qualification is for those working in the Package Distribution Services sector,
who work in frontline operations such as a mail centre, or who undertake delivery
and/or collections of mail. They are also suitable for those who work in large
organisations that have internal mailing systems.

The minimum credit value that must be taken to achieve the qualification is 26 and
the maximum credit value is 34.

You can also take the qualification as part of the Mail and Package Distribution
Intermediate Apprenticeship.
